What is the best processor for games for a lappy? pentium M any good? or will i need a better one? (needed to hold MS Flight Sim) around 1.6GHZ needed... thanks a lot.. For all who help me, thanks very much... England... World Cup Winners 2006? hopefully!! c'mon Rooney, Becks, Owen and the team!!! Lets show em how its done!

FYI - Since this is more less a spill over from your initial thread, you should have kept all related inquiries pretty much within that post. (Avoid creeping threads) Unless you are a mediocre gamer, you better hope to pay good money for a *real* gaming laptop & with your emphasis on the FS series you should get something that will run FSX smoothly when it comes out later in the year. How much are you looking at spending?

You already asked this! Laptops are not good for gaming UNLESS you buy a gaming laptop...but it depends on what games you expect to play. I'm sure you're not gonna play just this one game with it, are you? The minimum CPU requirement is only 450MHz...I don't know where you're coming up with 1.6GHz? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator In other words, any old laptop will be able to handle this particular game. It's hardware requirements are pretty low by today's gaming standards.

i put 1.66GHZ because ive got an add on with that as spec.. im looking at around $1000-1500 USD.. im from UK and want avoid paying £2000+ For all who help me, thanks very much... England... World Cup Winners 2006? hopefully!! c'mon Rooney, Becks, Owen and the team!!! Lets show em how its done!

No matter how you look at it there's a big gap between $1500.00 & approx £2000.00 ($3600.00), so I figured you *may* be able to afford the XPS M1710 @ £1300.00 without ever getting close to your £2000.00 threshold.......;-) If you are not real serious about gaming you should instead look at the M1210.

woah $3600 for a laptop...that'l be good to see, have a look at the alienware laptops and asus gaming ones...ps. i havent been following much in this article.
